The program supports the creation of community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high poverty and low performing schools. The Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program:

• Helps students meet state and local academic standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math.

• Offers students a broad array of enrichment opportunities that can complement their regular academic programs.

• Offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating students.
